DepthQuest

Players pilot a research submarine through ocean zones (sunlight, twilight, midnight, abyssal, hadal), discovering marine species, studying coral reef health, mapping the ocean floor, and answering marine science challenges. The only gamified ocean exploration RPG on iOS for ages 9-14.

Meet your mentor

Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
